George E. Marsh, Jr., FAIAPrincipal

Since joining the firm in 1980, George Marsh, Jr. has explored architecture in diverse complex typologies in historic, significant settings creating humanist contemporary environments. He has led planning beyond the healthcare and the research building typologies creating new campus places for people.

The intention is to create great new campus places for each setting; campus planning combined with intense architectural programs that maximize the benefits of each site and each individual place. George believes each solution must be of the spirit of its own place, ensuring the architecture is unique to the client, but builds upon the values of Payette’s work history.

After graduation from Carnegie Mellon in 1979, George’s ambition in all of his work became to make a significant contribution to each client and their place, so their building is their building, not the building of an architect. George’s passion is creating contemporary architecture in great campus settings for people, balancing architectural history and the technology of the future. This practice has been on the national and international forefront of pushing highly technical buildings to make great campus environments.
